Swiss Army Romance

Sleep with all the lights on

You're not so happy, you're not secure

You're dying to look cute in your blue jeans

But you're plastic just like everyone

You're just like everyone

And that face you paint is pressed

Impressing most of us as permanent

And I'd like to see you undone

College night will draw the crowds

Dorms unload and your heading out

Here is your moment to shine

Making up a history

It's nothing from the life you lead

But man, will they buy all your lines

Sleep with all the sheets off

Bearing your mattress, bearing your soul

And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos

But you're searching just like everyone, could be anyone

And the friends that you have are the best

Impressing most of us as permanent

And I'd like to see you undone

Youth's the most unfaithful mistress

Still we forge ahead to miss her

Rushing our moment to shine

Making up a history

It's nothing from the life you lead

But man will they buy all your lines

We're not twenty-one

But the sooner we are

The sooner the fun will begin

So get out your fake eyelashes

And fake ID's

And real disasters ensue

It's cool to take these chances

It's cool to fake romances

And grow up fast
